A test I added in r317607 is passing almost everywhere, except for llvm-clang-x8664-expensive-checks-win. Other Windows bots are happy.

http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/llvm-clang-x8664-expensive-checks-win/builds/6013 The test runs 'sed' on a file to generate variations of the input assembler source for Linux and Darwin. I have to say it looks like 'sed' is being the problem on that one bot. I reverted the test because "don't argue with the bots" but... but... "It's not my fault!" If anybody has any insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, --paulr The short answer is that Galina should install the correct version of sed (presumably from gnuwin32) on that bot. The somewhat longer answer is that you could work around as Justin suggested, but I'm not sure what's your sed foo and/or whether it's worth going that route.

Side note: in my early days on Windows years ago I spent a good couple of hours trying to figure out why some tests were failing, to discover I had installed the wrong tool. I don't recall whether the documentation points to the one true version of sed/awk/* required, but in case it doesn't, maybe we might consider adding it?
